Selling for First Alert?

Nov 22, 2005 10 Replies

Spoke with a fellow at a franchise about selling systems & monitoring for them. Any words of wisdom before I go further in the process?



Thanks!

It's Honeywell/Ademco stuff, shouldn't be a problem at least on the hardware side

It's not First Alert. It's the franchise deals that are rarely as good for the dealer as they are for the franchiser. Frankly, you can usually build a stronger, more profitable alarm business on your own than you can working for one of the "dealer" organizations.

I have no problem with FA. It's just slightly modified Ademco (Honeywell) product. I make a decent living selling Ademco / Honeywell and numerous other brands online. If I could support it I'd probably offer FA as well.

is sold dealer direct so end users can only get support from a local FA dealer. If there are several in the area from which to chose that shouldn't be a problem. But if there's only one FA dealer in the area and the consumer at some point becomes disenchanted with his services it can be a pain trying to switch. At the very least, the buyer may have to purchase new controls just to get service from another firm.
